Guest Reviews and Hotel Ratings

Honest Guest Feedback Based on Real Stays
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Holiday Inn Express Newcastle City Centre enjoys a prime location, especially convenient for those arriving by train, with the railway station just a short walk away and close to the city centre. Many guests appreciate the modern design and the breakfast, while the location is near St James Park. Some guests have mentioned minor issues such as ring marks on bedside tables and drainage issues with the sink, but this doesn't detract from the overall positive experience of being in a spacious room in a central hotel.

room temperature limited breakfast
the room's temperature control was off (i couldn't seem to regulate it). the fan provided did little to cool the space and was too noisy for me to sleep comfortably. i also found the breakfast selection quite limited, especially regarding options beyond the full english. there were no cold cuts like ham or cheese offered, disappointing.

Basic stay. Some issues

the staff was friendly and helpful at the reception desk. that aspect met my expectations.
The tv in my room had a terrible picture. the image was cloudy with very little color. It reminded me of watching a black and white tv. i reported it, but nothing happened.
